Belgian retail bonds to have 5/8-year maturity - local press

EUROZONE ISSUANCE
  • The Belgian Debt Agency is due to officially confirm today the maturity of the Bons d'Etat (State Bonds open to retail investors) but De Tijd is already reporting that there will be terms of 5/8-years available (see full article here, behind paywall).
  • The upcoming Bons d'Etat issue will be closely watched after the huge E21.896bln take-up of the 1-year issue in September - which caused cancellation of an OLO auction and a number of lines of TC auctions.
  • Given that Belgium is largely done with its 2023 financing plan (there is just one ORI operation due on 15 December), the takeup of this issue is likely to have a much greater impact on issuance plans for 2024.
  • For the upcoming issue, the coupon will be confirmed on 28 November with the subscription period from 30 November to 8 December.
